New York, NY (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- ZOOZOOM to honored with the Webby for the Best Fashion Site of the Year at The 11th Annual Webby Awards, June 5th. The ceremony will be held at Cipriani Wall Street, New York.
Hosted by comedian Rob Corddry, the event will recognize ZOOZOOM's founders for their innovative and original online glossy Fashion Magazine.
ZOOZOOM prides itself on its content and design. Commissioning their own fashion and beauty editorials that are comparable in quality and creativity to high-end, glossy print magazines, the resulting features are presented large, so you can see every stitch. But the other side of the ZOOZOOM success story is their non-intrusive advertising delivery system that delivers full-screen ads with results that are breaking industry records: select campaigns are enjoying click-through rates of over 27%.
ZOOZOOM will be saluted alongside Webby Award winners in a wide range of categories from Blog to Fashion to Weird, as well as three Special Achievement honorees - David Bowie (Webby Lifetime Achievement); the eBay community and CEO Meg Whitman (Webby Lifetime Achievement); and YouTube co-founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley (Webby Person of the Year).
In keeping with Webby tradition, all special achievement honorees and winners will limit their speeches to just five words (Al Gore's 2005 speech: "Please don't recount this vote.")
Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international honors for websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile content. The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-person judging academy whose members include Vinton Cerf, R/GA's Chief Bob Greenberg, "The Simpson's" creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.
